The Resume

    (July 30, 1984-January 15, 1993)
    Shown on NBC
    Created by producers Jerome Dobson and Bridget Dobson
    Premise: The lives of two rich families intertwine with the lives of two working class families

Why Santa Barbara (Soap Opera) might be annoying:

    The show overused soap opera storyline staples such financial corruption, greed, kidnapping, rapes, murder trials, fake pregnancies and love triangles.
    Many characters would die then come back to life.
    One story line had a nun having affairs with two different men and getting pregnant by one of them.
    Three different actresses portrayed rich girl Kelly Capwell, including Robin Wright and Eileen Davidson.
    The writers used a California earthquake to kill off the show's worst performers.
    As story lines became more bizarre, the show kept losing viewers.

Why Santa Barbara (Soap Opera) might not be annoying:

    The show won three Daytime Emmys.
    The ‘Beautiful Super couple' of the show was the blond rich girl (portrayed by Marcy Walker) and a Latino chief police officer (portrayed by A Martinez).
    The series successfully incorporated Latino actors without stereotyping them.
